Flowers and More Flowers: "Flower Power" is the name of this year's show.
Philadelphia Flower Show March 2-10
Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA
Flowers are part of our everyday lives and impart to us a wide array of emotions, from love and hope to peace, beauty, tranquility, and joy. Sam Lemheney, the PHS Chief of Shows and Events, says this year's designers "will capture how flowers influence the way we feel, think and act in personal and global ways." The displays are expected to demonstrate how flowers convey emotions in a universal language that transcends borders and cultures.
The show is hosting this year's FTD (Florists' Transworld Delivery) World Cup, an international design competition with competitors from more than 20 countries. Their creations will be on display throughout the show.
The entrance garden features towering vine sculptures replete with flowers, plants, and butterflies; overhead, a meadow of wildflowers will float above the displays. Several horticultural social media stars will also be in attendance: Nick McCullough, of the blog "Thinking Outside the Boxwood," and who has more than three million followers on Pinterest, is designing one exhibit, and Tu Bloom of Chicago will be host at the Gardener's Studio. Tu Bloom's past projects include the stage at the Grammy Awards, Michael Jackon's childhood home, and the Chicago Flower & Garden Show.
It promises to be a stunning show -- so don't miss it.
